This book presents the gross pathology of the most commonly encountered diseases and syndromes of fish in an organ system-based approach. It provides an overview of the diseases and disorders of tropical, ornamental, bait and food fish from freshwater, brackish and marine environments. Readers will gain a broader understanding of the basic biology of infectious and non-infectious diseases in fish, as well as novel diagnostic techniques and innovative disease control methods.

This chapter is perfect for anyone involved in the keeping of fish and would be accessible to biologists as well as veterinarians. Similarly, the chapter on water quality is essential and highly accessible, with helpful graphics to illustrate water quality testing and concepts. The excellent, clinically relevant photos throughout the book are essential to the descriptions of gross pathology. The anesthesia chapter is extraordinarily well written and provides multiple different methods of anesthesia along with detailed mechanisms of action and risks and benefits of each. Similarly, the surgery chapter highlights the more recent emphasis on welfare and analgesia in fish, which is much needed and not emphasized as much in older books. Both the table of contents and the index are well done and make this an easy quick reference.
